WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST REACTION WHEN YOU REALIZED WE WERE GOING TO HAVE A BLACK PRESIDENT?

"I heard the news from a flight attendant on a cross-country flight back to San Francisco. The woman in front of me and I high-fived each other! I thought: I'm actually proud of what the country has done."

--Bill Hing, professor of law at UC Davis

"My first thought was, 'I can't believe it: A Black Democrat before a Black Republican!' I was sooo wrong!"--Chris Rabb, Founder of Afro-Netizen

"I had been crying my head off watching the returns, and than I went out on my balcony in East Harlem and banged on a pot with all of my neighbors, screaming, yelling and crying."

--Judith Le Blanc, United for Peace and Justice
